Fueling

Local Fuel Support Team
As part of the Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition's objective to act as an alternative fuel clearinghouse of information, the Coalition has staffed a panel of experts that is available to help you with fuel specific questions and implementation assistance on cleaner vehicles.

Representatives from various alternative fuel industries are committed to helping Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition members in advancing cleaner vehicle alternatives by providing their expertise. There is a five-person panel of experts to help you with your fuel specific questions.

What are alternative fuels?

http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/altfuel/altfuels.html
The Department of Energy's definition of alternative fuels states that they are substantially non-petroleum and yield energy security and environmental benefits. Alternative fuels are a substitute for conventional engine fuels such as gasoline and diesel. The U.S. Energy Policy Act defines alternative fuels as the following:
  • Methanol, Ethanol, and other alcohol fuels
  • Blends of 85% or more of alcohol with gasoline
  • LNG and CNG
  • Propane - Liquefied petroleum gas
  • Hydrogen and Electricity
  • Biodiesel
    In January 2001 the Biodiesel Final Rule made it possible for fleets to earn EPAct credits for use of biodiesel blends of at least 20%. This rule does not make B20 (a 20% blend of biodiesel with diesel) an alternative fuel, but gives one credit for every 450 gallons of pure biodiesel used in biodiesel blends.

    Currently, there are no ethanol fueling stations in California. To bring ethanol to California, visit the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition Website to find out how you can help get ethanol fueling stations in California. http://www.e85refuel.com
